Nars Spring Collection

last updated 8 February 2013

If Dries Van Noten's plaid-happy spring collection didn't quite satiate your '90s nostalgia, Nars is here to help. The brand's spring color collection boasts a rich palette of burgundy, mustard yellow, and shiny metallics reminiscent of that grunge-soaked decade. There's something for every complexion (and occasion), from cobalt blue eye shadow to a classic wine lipstick, but we've fallen for two universally flattering products: the Seduction Blush ($28) in Santiago and the Corcovado Soft Touch Shadow Pencil ($24) in 24-Karat Gold. The raspberry-colored powder blush pops on both pale and bronzed skin and, if you're daring enough, is just the right shade for a smoky red eye. The gold pencil practically melts into the skin, highlighting all the right places or lending a royal finish to the rest of your eye makeup--the trick to making that plaid flannel shirt feel fresh.-Britt Aboutaleb

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
